Cisco Express 500 Switch

[skibum06]

Anyone know anything about these new switches? Here is what I have... a laptop (10.35.101.88)connected to fe port on the 500 series switch (10.35.101.2)on vlan 1, all ports defaulted to vlan 1. The 500 series switch is connected to an 871 router fe port, which is on vlan 1 (10.35.101.1) and the 871 router (10.35.1.1) which is connected via the wan ports to another 871 router (10.35.1.11), with a laptop connected via fe port (10.34.101.2) with a default gateway of (10.34.101.3) which is the vlan 1 on this device.

From the laptop 10.35.101.88, I can ping all the way across to the 10.34.101.2 laptop, no problems. I can not ping from 10.34.101.2 laptop back over to any device from the 500 switch and beyond. When I do a trace route from the laptop on 10.34.101 it stops at 10.35.1.11.

What am I missing? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What are your netmasks for each of the devices? On a 10. network, the netmask will default to 255.0.0.0 (/8). If any of the devices have this netmask, they will attempt to contact any other 10. address directly, rather than going through the router(s).

It looks like you want to be using a 255.255.255.0 (/24) netmask or more restrictive on each of the devices.
